Your Task:

• Use Gulf of Mexico/North Sea data to calculate several

reflection coefficients and the seismic responses for a
shale-capped reservoir that has a gas cap and an oil leg.

FWSchroeder 1
 Steps 1, 2 and 3

You are given data representative of an area

For example, Gulf of Mexico data:

1) Shale: V = 8000 ft/s; Density = 2.20 gm/cc
2) Water sand: V = 7800 ft/s; Density = 2.15 gm/cc
3) Oil sand: V = 7100 ft/s; Density = 2.11 gm/cc
4) Gas sand: V = 6400 ft/s; Density = 1.96 gm/cc

You will calculate five reflection coefficients:

1) Shale over water sand RC = ________
2) Shale over oil sand RC = ________
3) Shale over gas sand RC = ________
4) Gas sand over oil sand RC = ________ GOC
5) Oil sand over water sand RC = _______ OWC

 Draw Four Zero-Phase Wavelets

Given the RCs and a wavelet at location A (shale over water

sand), you will draw wavelets at B, C, D and E
